Members shared experiences with burning sensations in the mouth and throat, with several identifying it as a symptom of fibromyalgia or a related condition called Burning Mouth Syndrome, which one member's dentist diagnosed after doctors were unfamiliar with it. Several members described potential triggers, including acidic foods like grapes, strawberries, apples, and tea, as well as certain medications like Gabapentin and Proton Pump Inhibitors, with one member finding relief after withdrawing from these drugs despite ongoing symptoms. A recurring theme was the importance of self-research and advocating for yourself with medical teams, as many doctors may not be familiar with this condition or its various causes.
